Tektro RL520 v-brake levers?

[atonaldenim]

hey-
I'm wondering if anybody has tried out the new Tektro RL520 aero brake lever for v-brakes. I really want to replace my Dia-Compe 287V's, which have always felt terrible - not at all "snappy" with tons of cable friction. Ripping out the stupid internal 'noodles' helped quite a bit... but I'm still not very happy and those all black Tektros are sexy...

any experiences?

Nope, saw them online for the first time today. They look nicer. I saw on Interbike coverage that Cane Creek will have a version soon!

I thought Cane Creek was nothing but rebadged Tektro.

I've been wondering how long it would be before tektro/cane creek made a comfy v-brake lever. I'll probably give them a try. I can deal with cantis for cross season but keeping them quiet and powerful the rest of the year is a chore.

The Cane Creek is the Tektro lever with atmo better finish. Gum hoods!

Hi just looking at levers etc, dia compe, not sounding too good from what I've read so far, I'm running v brakes on the front with a travel agent and soma levers, and just put on froglegs on the rear, with soma lever not so good, any suggestions?
